interregional migration, panel gravity modelAbstract
The paper discusses the problem of migration in spatial and temporal perspective. The objective is to evaluate the intensity and direction of selected economic variables impact on the volume of interregional migration flows in Poland in the period 2004–2010. The analysis was performed using panel gravity model with fixed effects. The socio-economic situation and espe-cially the level of salaries determine migration directions in Poland. Significant movements keep occurring between economically stronger regions. They indicate tendencies towards obtaining positive net migration.References
